Adding Processors
Each channel strip has a row of empty slots that can contain any of the modular processor blocks.
Except for crossovers and splitters, there are no restrictions on where processors can be placed on the
signal flow diagram, or how many times you can use a given processor on the same channel strip.
Empty slots between processors do not affect the signal flow, so blocks do not have to be adjacent on
the channel strips.
When processor blocks are first added to the signal flow diagram, they contain factory default settings.
You can individually change each processor’s settings by opening its parameter window. The blocks
will retain their settings even when copied or moved to a different slot.
Populating Empty Slots
Processor blocks can be added to the signal flow diagram either by using the Processor Toolbox, or by
menu command. Each method is described below.
With the Processor Toolbox
You can use the mouse to grab a processor block from the Processor Toolbox. The mouse cursor will
change to alert you that your next mouse action will place the block in the signal flow diagram. The
cursor’s appearance depends on its location, as illustrated in the following table.
Location where processor
can be placed
Inappropriate location for
that processor.
To add a processor block from the Processor Toolbox:
§ Click and hold the left mouse button to drag a processor block from the Processor
Toolbox to the signal flow diagram. Release the mouse button to place the block at the
current cursor location.
- OR -
§ Click once on a processor block in the Processor Toolbox, then click again on the
appropriate empty slot in the signal flow diagram.
Tip! If you change your mind after you have clicked on a processor block in the
Processor Toolbox window, you can use the ESC key to cancel this operation
before you place the processor in the signal flow diagram.
With a Menu Command
You can add processors to the signal flow diagram without opening the Processor Toolbox, by using
either the main menu or the right-click contextual menu, as described below.
To add a processor block using the menu:
1. Click to select an empty slot.
2. Use the right-click contextual menu to select a processor.
- OR -
3. Use the [Processor>Add] option on the main menu bar.
Another advantage to using a menu command to place your processor blocks is that you can place the
same type of processor in multiple slots with a single menu command.
